iReport-nb: reports und java classes

[Henry]

Hello togehter,

In the past I have build my report with ireport-3.0.0 classic and the necessary java classes with eclipse.

Now I try to migrate my reports and java classes to ireport-3.7.0.

It was easy to move the java classes to netbeans and it was also easy to move the reports to ireport-3.7.0. First of all, I miss and I need the massive compiler in ireport-3.7.0.

But like before I have two applications for the reports and the classes.

Till now I don't found the way how I can build java classes in ireport-3.7.0 (netbeans work behind it, so I think it must possible) or to build reports with netbeans and the ireport plugins.

Inside netbeans I found only the "Welcome to iReport" window from that I can build new reports. But how I can open existing reports? "File/Open File" doesn't work.

Inside iReport-3.7.0 I can open only reports. I don't found a way how I can open a java class project.

Maybe some of my questions looks very stupid, but now  I have no idea how I can build both (reports and java classes) in one tool.

Regards, Henry

Hi,

one of the problems looks are the combination of iReport Plugin 3.7.0 an Netbeans 6.8. In NB 6.8 nothing happens if i open a report file (.jrxml)

The same plugins in Netbeans 6.5 works. If i open a report file the report designer and other report windows are open.

If there a solution/fix how i can use the ireport plugins with Netbeans 6.8?

a) iReport 3.7.0 standalone => i can create/open reports, i don't know how i can build java classes

b) netbeans 6.5.1 + ireport 3.7.0 plugins => i can create/open reports and i can build java classes

c) netbeans 6.7.1 + ireport 3.7.0 plugins => i can create/open reports and i can build java classes

d) netbeans 6.8 + ireport 3.7.0 plugins => i can't open reports but i can build java classes

So, my solution for the moment is c) netbeans 6.7.1 + ireport 3.7.0 plugins
